Did you know that I’m actually half Mauritian? I’ve luckily been able to visit Mauritius a few times over the years and it holds a special place in my heart. I’ve recently returned from the most incredible trip to Marrakech, Morocco, and have previously visited Agadir. I hope to travel more of Africa in the future and will definitely be creating more posts so watch this space.
My favourite continent by far – Asia is a land that spells freedom for me. It was the first place I ever travelled solo. The first step into my new life. I’ve been travelling all my life, but Asia was a place that captivated me like nowhere else had before. Plan a two week holiday or a year’s backpacking trip – check out my Asia destination guides and trip planning itineraries. From the beaches of Thailand to the temples of Cambodia. Swim the waterfalls of Laos, dine on the best street food in Vietnam, explore the streets of Kuala Lumpur or swim with sea turtles in Indonesia. Fancy getting off the beaten track? Sri Lanka is the country for you – a little piece of my heart was left behind. Let me help you with planning the ultimate trip to Asia.
If you're looking for an adventure, Australia is the ultimate destination for you. If you're aged 18-35 you even have the opportunity to live there for up to 2 years on a working holiday visa! Imagine epic national parks, incredible road trips, camping wild under the stars, festivals in Sydney and Melbourne, backpacking up the East and West Coasts. It's one of my favourite places in the world, so here you will find all my detailed guides, itineraries and experiences you won't want to miss.
Climb aboard the Central America express and prepare for one heck of a colourful adventure with Absolutely Lucy. By far one of my favourite continents to explore – it’s been a magical blend of jungle, beach and desert along the way. Visit Mexico, Belize, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Costa Rica and Panama. From snorkelling and ocean cruising around national parks, to all the tacos you can eat, music festivals and much more. Climb ancient Mayan ruins, volcanos and jump into crystal clear lakes. Central America, you absolute wonder.
Escape with Absolutely Lucy on a European adventure. Whether it’s a weekend city break, a long summer holiday or perhaps even an epic road trip or Interrail. Get off the beaten track in Slovenia or explore alpine lakes in Austria and Switzerland. Get away from the crowds and visit Liechtenstein and tick off the 6th smallest country in the world. Summer holiday in Malta, Greece, Italy or Portugal and top up that tan. Or head to Ibiza and dance until the sun comes up. I’ve got everything from European music festivals to travelling by campervan to hotel hopping from city to city. There are so many amazing options when travelling Europe and it’s the perfect place for a solo female travel adventure.
North America is a huge area of the world and one that I haven’t explored as much as I would have liked. But the parts I have been lucky enough to visit, I’ve created guides plus lots of inspiration posts for helping you to plan your own trips. Posts in this section centre around everyone’s favourite US destination – New York. Plus, I’ve got a range of posts from my most recent trip to Mexico and my road trip with a friend over there. Canada is big on my bucket list, and I can’t wait until I get to go over there and explore properly. But in the meantime, I’ve worked with top brands to create a range of blog posts to inspire your fly-drive trips, road trips and dream holidays over there.
By far the most long-awaited continent I have visited. With plans of spending months exploring Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Bolivia and many more. Unfortunately, my trip was cut short due to the panny-d. I had just arrived in Cartagena, Colombia, when the borders started to close and Central & South America went into lockdown. Luckily I made it back to the UK safely – but sadly it has meant my trip has been postponed until a later date. Watch this space for upcoming content.
I’ve always been very lucky to come from a beautiful part of the world – the North Norfolk coast. Growing up, I had some of the best beaches in the UK and some amazing forests just down the road. Over the years I’ve loved enjoying city breaks in London, York, Cambridge, Norwich and Brighton. Some of my favourite things to do are find amazing places to eat including London food markets, heading to UK music festivals or taking a road trip across the UK. Now that I have the camper van, my forays across the UK are more focused on wild swimming spots, best places for vanlife and campervan trips, plus hiking guides and exploring national parks.

That golden hour espresso with a view of the mountains after a day of skiing just hits different ✨ [ad]
Legs aching from a day on the slopes and your second ski lesson, the night stretches ahead with the promise of a luxury dining experience to refuel in the tiny Swiss mountain town of Grindelwald 🏔️
If you’re looking for a peaceful ski trip and an escape from the wild aprés scene, this is the way to do it.

Why Singapore is the perfect destination for a solo stopover [AD]
Travelling solo? You need to enjoy a stopover in the city of Singapore – it’s a fuss free travel experience that is perfect for women travelling alone and one of the safest places I have travelled solo 💖
Explore using the city’s public transport (you’ll be amazed how clean & cheap it is!) Don’t be put off thinking Singapore is expensive – it’s actually so easy to travel there on a budget 💸
Try dining at Lau Pau Sat hawker market where you can try incredible local delicacies and visit the famous Satay Street for just SGD 5-15 per dish! 🥟🍜🥢
If you love escaping into nature and finding adventure, Singapore is the city for you! Spend a few hours exploring Gardens by the Bay. Visit at night for Garden Rhapsody and in the day for the amazing attractions that are ahead of their time – my favourite was the Cloud Forest! Visit Sentosa Island for a taste of Singapore’s beaches, get your thrills with cable cars, jungle luges and zip lines 🚠
Don’t miss incredible dining experiences including the highly acclaimed Violet Oon’s restaurant at the iconic National Gallery which celebrates Peranakan cuisine, and one of my favourite experiences of the trip was Singapore Sidecars – a truly unique way to see the city 🌆
Would you book a stopover in Singapore?

First time skiing? ⛷️ I got you 😉 [ad]
Fresh from an epic ski trip to Grindelwald, Switzerland, where we were so lucky with the incredible blue skies, sunshine and amazing conditions! I was told repeatedly how lucky I was to have this as my first time skiing by my instructors. A perfect place for me to test my ski legs!
There’s nothing that quite feels like Hozier’s yell like your first day on the slopes surrounded by spectacular mountains - shoutout to my amazing ski teachers, Sandro & Joelle @swissskischool
Thank you to @myswitzerland @jungfrauregion @grindelwald_eiger for an incredible trip! Wearing @roxy ski jacket and ski pants ⛷️
Who’s ready for some snow adventures? Let me know what you want to know about first-time skiing in the comments!

NGL I can’t hide that smug feeling 😏 anyone else rather use their legs (especially before a 14 hour flight lol)? Surely I can’t be the only person like this…
